Mirra Andreeva compares herself to Hingis: "I am learning to play like her"

Mirra Andreeva wants to take a further step in her progression this season, and the spontaneity she shows in press conferences is almost as surprising as the one she displays on the court. The 17-year-old Russian revealed interesting aspects of her routine after reaching the second round of the 2025 Australian Open. "It's hard to work with me because I'm very particular. If on the first day of a tournament I've eaten rice with chicken, for example, I'll eat that for the rest of the days, even if I don't feel like it. I must say that what I like the most is rice with a little parmesan on top," she said before talking about a historical tennis player with whom she sees similarities.

"I've always liked the way Martina Hingis played because I see similarities between us. She was very intelligent on the court, and I believe I'm showing that too. The difference is that Hingis was never afraid to be aggressive. This year, I set myself the goal of doing that too, being more direct and finishing points at the net," she concluded.
